An early version of the song featuring [[André Cymone]] on lead vocals was recorded on [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/February_17|17 February 1979]] at [[Music Farm Studios]] in New York, during a day of sessions led by [[Pepé Willie]] intended for Tony Silvester, leader of the group [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Main_Ingredient The Main Ingredient] to use as demos for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Anthony_and_the_Imperials Little Anthony and the Imperials], who he wanted to produce (the one-day session also produced [[If You Feel Like Dancin']], [[I Feel For You]], [[Thrill You Or Kill You]] and [[With You]]), although '''Do Me, Baby''' was recorded with extra studio time and was not intended for use by Silvester.

An early version of the song featuring [[André Cymone]] on lead vocals was recorded in February 1978 at [[Music Farm Studios]] in New York, NY, USA, around the same time as of sessions led by [[Pepé Willie]] intended for Tony Silvester, leader of the group [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Main_Ingredient The Main Ingredient] to use as demos for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Anthony_and_the_Imperials Little Anthony and the Imperials], who he wanted to produce (the one-day session also produced [[I Feel For You]], [[Thrill You Or Kill You]] and [[With You]]), although '''Do Me, Baby''' was recorded with extra studio time and was not intended for use by Silvester.

Even when the song is credited solely to [[Prince]], [[André Cymone]] has said it was his song and [[Pepé Willie]] has corroborated this statement. [[André Cymone|Cymone]] claims he came up with the main groove and perhaps the melody and [[Prince]] put lyrics to it. It is interesting to note that the song bears a striking similarity to the chord progression of Aretha Franklin’s '''Angel''', from ''Hey Now Hey (The Other Side Of The Sky'' (1973), combined with the melody of a guitar solo in Eddie Hazel’s  '''Frantic Moment''' from ''Game, Dames & Guitar Thangs'' (1977). If [[Andre Cymone|Cymone]] indeed had a hand in writing the song, it is a possible reason why he never disputed the songwriting credits in court.

[[Prince]] re-cut the song as a solo effort in April 1979 at [[Alpha Studios]] in Burbank, California. That version was mixed in early June 1979 at [[Hollywood Sound Recorders]] in Los Angeles, California, while working on recording the [[Album: Prince|Prince]] album. But the song did not end up being used for the album and was shelved. This version from 1979 was released in 2021 as a stand alone digital track and in 2022 as a limited 7" purple vinyl [[Single:_Do_Me,_Baby_(Demo)|single]] and cassette to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the [[Album: Controversy|Controversy]] album.

While specific recording dates of the released version are not known, the album sessions took place in Spring and Summer 1981, at [[Prince]]'s [[Kiowa Trail Home Studio]] in Chanhassen, Minnesota and [[Hollywood Sound Recorders]] in Los Angeles, California. The album was completed at [[Sunset Sound]] in Hollywood, California, between [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/August_14|14]] and [[Prince_Vault:Selected_anniversaries/August_23|23 August 1981]].

Do Me, Baby is the third track on Prince’s fourth album Controversy, and, nine months after the album’s release, Do Me, Baby was released as the album’s third single. In 1993, the single edit was included as the fifth track on Prince’s second compilation album The Hits 2 (also included as the second disc of The Hits / The B-Sides).

In 2002, a live version was also included as the eighth track on the second disc of One Nite Alone... Live!, Prince’s first live album (along with Adore and Condition Of The ♥ (Interlude) from the same show). The song was written by André Cymone, but credited to Prince.

An early version of the song featuring André Cymone on lead vocals was recorded in February 1978 at Music Farm Studios in New York, NY, USA, around the same time as of sessions led by Pepé Willie intended for Tony Silvester, leader of the group The Main Ingredient to use as demos for Little Anthony and the Imperials, who he wanted to produce (the one-day session also produced I Feel For You, Thrill You Or Kill You and With You), although Do Me, Baby was recorded with extra studio time and was not intended for use by Silvester.

Even when the song is credited solely to Prince, André Cymone has said it was his song and Pepé Willie has corroborated this statement. Cymone claims he came up with the main groove and perhaps the melody and Prince put lyrics to it. It is interesting to note that the song bears a striking similarity to the chord progression of Aretha Franklin’s Angel, from Hey Now Hey (The Other Side Of The Sky (1973), combined with the melody of a guitar solo in Eddie Hazel’s Frantic Moment from Game, Dames & Guitar Thangs (1977). If Cymone indeed had a hand in writing the song, it is a possible reason why he never disputed the songwriting credits in court.

Prince re-cut the song as a solo effort in April 1979 at Alpha Studios in Burbank, California. That version was mixed in early June 1979 at Hollywood Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, California, while working on recording the Prince album. But the song did not end up being used for the album and was shelved. This version from 1979 was released in 2021 as a stand alone digital track and in 2022 as a limited 7" purple vinyl single and cassette to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Controversy album.

While specific recording dates of the version released on Controversy are not known, the album sessions took place in Spring and Summer 1981, at Hollywood Sound Recorders in Los Angeles, California. The album was completed at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California, between 14 and 23 August 1981.

In 2000, Do Me, Baby was planned for inclusion on When 2 R In Love: The Ballads Of Prince (likely in re-recorded form, although it is possible this was planned but not executed). The album did not receive many votes by visitors at Prince: A Celebration, however, and was ultimately abandoned.
